free set up guide

Re: free set up guide

A huge thanks to Rob for his fantastic setup guide and for promptly sending it to me yesterday.

I was an idiot and had already attempted to restore a Marco Rebora bowlback mandolin without the guide (since I didn't know it existed). Rob's guide showed me where I had gone wrong - particularly the section on intonation - an area on which I was completely ignorant. The mandolin now sounds so much better and I am confident my brother in law will enjoy receiving it as a Secret Santa present tomorrow.

Re: free set up guide

I received a copy of the guide from Rob!

I just got my grandmother's old mandolin and have been doing research to begin learning how to play. I found Rob's free eBook referenced in a bunch of different places, so I reached out and sure enough he is STILL sending it out! Thanks, Rob!
